In the restroom, Jiang Nuan held cold water in her hands and splashed her face, the icy faucet water calming her frantic heartbeat considerably.
She twisted off the faucet, pulled a piece of paper to dry the residual water on her face, and leaned against the sink, staring blankly at herself in the mirror.
The face in the mirror was pale, her expression distraught, not a hint of the composure she had previously imagined; it looked just like a soldier defeated before even going to battle, embarrassingly pathetic!
Jiang Nuan smiled bitterly, turned the faucet back on, and reached over to let the water wash over her hands.
Five years, yet it seed like she hadn’t progressed at all. Whenever she saw him, her heart would race uncontrollably.
The growth she thought she had achieved was a joke in front of him!
He remained as noble and elegant as ever, while she was still a foolish loser in his presence.
Jiang Nuan’s mood was heavy, so much so that she kept daydreaming and didn’t notice soone had entered the won’s restroom.
When she finally noticed, her face changed slightly, and she imdiately collected her confused and helpless expression, her pretty face slightly sinking as she turned around, "Why did you co in here?"
Realizing her tone wasn’t calm enough, she bit her lip and forced herself to cool down, speaking coldly to the man who followed her in, "This is the won’s restroom, Director Fu, you’ve entered the wrong place."
Fu Yi, hands in his pockets, leaned against the wall, silently watching her with a smile, "I didn’t make a mistake, I ca in to find you."
"Find ?" Jiang Nuan was secretly annoyed, "We just t for the first ti, what do you want with ? You oversee construction, not healthcare; we have no business with each other!"
She quickly grabbed her bag, unwilling to stay even a second longer, "I’m leaving, Director Fu, make yourself at ho!"
Just as she finished speaking, her wrist was grabbed forcefully, and with a sudden pull, she was pulled into a firm embrace.
"Um." Jiang Nuan was caught completely off guard, her nose bumping directly, making it sting bitterly, eyes welling up with redness.
She pressed both hands against the man’s chest, furious, lifting her head to scold him sweetly, "Let go!"
"What if I don’t?"
Scoundrel, shaless rogue!
Jiang Nuan was so angry she could go mad but had to maintain her composure, raising her voice with a cold laugh, "We don’t even know each other, Director Fu. Why are you holding my hand? Don’t tell you ca all the way into the won’s restroom because it’s love at first sight..."
She originally intended to mock him, disgust him, but unexpectedly, Fu Yi narrowed his phoenix eyes and admitted frankly, "You’ve guessed it, it was love at first sight, Doctor Jiang."
Jiang Nuan was caught off guard, her eyes filled with astonishnt as she looked at him, "..."
Fu Yi leaned in closer, pinching her chin with his left hand, the slightly cold touch of his fingers against her jaw causing Jiang Nuan to shiver as she sobered up quite a bit.
She imdiately turned her head angrily, struggling again, cursing with fury, "You’re sick! Let go!"
Not only did Fu Yi not let go, he took the opportunity to lift her and press her against the sink, raising her chin from above. The eyes behind his glasses were piercing, completely lacking the gentle refinent he outwardly portrayed, like a wolf tearing off its mask, revealing its true nature, "Hmm, I’m sick, you’re the cure, we were ant to be."
Jiang Nuan’s heart was in turmoil, forced by him into a corner; she could only hide from him in the cramped space. Raising her head, as if provoked to the point of breaking, she sarcastically tore into him, "Ha, what do you an by this? Five years ago, Director Fu didn’t think I was worthy, and now after five years, you’ve changed your mind and want to rekindle the old fla?"
